Best answer ever thank you

I disagree. I don't think that is a good answer. I really like this site and I agree, the site does feel as if it is genuine. But I want to know more about who these people are and what their thinking is. Anything which attempts to change the anti-intellectual and dogmatic pro-religious attitudes of the USA is a good thing, for me, but I don't like it when people hide their identity. I don't like it when people put a photo of their dog instead of themselves on Facebook and similar sites. Honesty is the most important thing! Having said that, i shall go and change my user name - I used a pseudonym to start with because I wasn't sure i could trust the site. But now I think I can.

@CeliaVL True. However, I am more concerned about personal safety than making a name for myself here. I'm just a software developer who has some money and time to help create this community. I grew up in a loving, but very religious, family so I am aware of the usefulness of a supportive community for unbelievers. Thanks!

@Admin Thanks for taking the time to reply. Deliberate anonymity has always made me a bit uneasy, but I recognise there can be good reasons!

@Admin First, I love this site. It has grown to take far too much of my time, but I can live with that! I'm having fun, learning & sharing. I'm very glad & grateful you've done this! I'm fairly open about who I am here, tho some are more so. My picture is my picture, & I share others. My "name" is the start of my internet name. I have grown to actually almost love some of the people I've "met" on this site, & not in the dating capacity! (Darn!) Please keep doing what your doing. I would miss this if it was gone!!!!
